>> american airlines flight was diverted to jfk international airport saturday after a row of seats became loose in coach. where did you get that sweater vest? okay, that's when you know we're your ford dealer. getting too fat in this country. okay? when we're breaking whole rose of seats during takeoff. when we got married. i had three kids. when you take off and the seats and she became the full time mother of three. break off? it was soccer, and ballet, and cheerleading, and baseball. yeah. >> gretchen: that's funny, unfortunately, i don't think that's exactly what it could be those years were crazy. because american airlines passengers and the troubled so, as we go into this next phase, carrier may have other reasons why that's happening. now there has been a third

you know, a big part of it for us is that report of seats coming loose. let's see what ron white has to there isn't anything on the schedule. say about all this. his latest comedy act is called a little unprofessional. and he joins us now. could it be, i'm just going to throw it out -- could it be they've had all these labor talks with their maintenance workers and pilots, could it have something to do with that, like they go and do a little work with the screwdriver and accidentsally undo the seats? >> the blank look on that face is i don't have something in my ear telling me what was just on. i guess it was leno talk being this american airlines debauchle. >> brian: we're trying keep you in the dark. >> thank you very much. i doubt it. i mean, i would imagine that everybody -- they look at these planes so closely. they're x-rayed every 600 hours from top to bottom. the electronics, and these aren't optional inspections. these are faa inspections. >> brian: what's causing this then?

we booked you -- >> i know. >> gretchen: leno said it was because americans are getting too big. now when we take off on airline, the seats are coming off the bolts. >> because of the heavy passengers? is that what he said? >> gretchen: yeah. >> steve: professional humor. >> okay. that's jay leno. >> steve: you travel a lot via air all the time. >> i do. >> steve: you've got to worry about the safety of everything. >> i do. and i finally bought me a plane. >> brian: that's a good time to ask our fans to buy us a plane. >> have everybody chip in and if everybody listens to this show, they wouldn't have to give very much to put you guys in private jets transportation. >> brian: ron that, is true and i wish people would take your lead. some your fans could help. let's talk about performance. >> my fans are busy. >> brian: watching you. you know what it's like performing and being funny. what about performing and having knowledge, the debate? what goes into the preparation,

in your mind, for these two guys to stand shoulder to shoulder with 60 million watching? >> i would vomit if i had a task that daunting. i would throw up because it's just a big trip thing. they're both going to try to trip each other all night long and i just watched a segment about getting under obama's skin and you can do that. i think, we were talking about the blue collar folks and what they're feeling now. i think they're sick of the lies from both sides. i think they should be told the truth. i think that's what they're looking for. i think they're looking for answers. that's for sure. but if you don't have answer, i don't think they're buying it hook, line and sinker anymore on either side. so i think they're looking for a story. we all need a story, but it's got to be something that they can sink their teeth into. i think they're scared to death. >> gretchen: would you invoke they should -- would you advise you should invoke humor? i sure.

obama is funny. he does good shtick whenever he has to. i've never seen romney make anybody laugh. but that's not important for a president. you don't have to make me laugh. clinton didn't make me laugh. he made me cheer. >> brian: you like him. >> i did. >> brian: you also are pro-military. what you do for the law enforcement foundation, paying out money is unbelievable. >> well, no matter what side of the debate you're on, this country is at war and that's all our responsibility. these guys are coming back, men and women coming back blown to smithereens and sustaining injuries that would have killed them in the last conflict. now they're living through it. that means their ours for the rest of their lives and their kids' lives. so if you can't get behind something as simple as -- most people can -- as raising money to help these wounded soldiers, then i think you're a little off. but the aff does a great job.

that's my main charity. >> brian: you always walk to hospitals. go see these guys. this isn't just a check you write. but these are the people you see. >> yeah. that's how i got personally invested in all of it is a trip to walter reed one time. all four of us from blue collar guys went. one guy holding his little girl and he only had one limb left and i went and cried like a baby. there had to be more i could do. once you get the right angle on it, it's pretty clear what you should be doing. >> steve: so with your new comedy project, you're benefitting that group -- if people want more information how to download it? >> you can get this thing for five bucks. price of a sandwich. ronwhitespecial.com. you can download it. if you want to, talk about creating jobs, download it, burn three copies, sell them to your friends for five bucks apiece. now yours didn't cost anything and you can go buy that sandwich

that you would have bought with the five to start with that would be gone today anyway. >> gretchen: you created a small business. >> there you go. >> steve: it could be copyright infringement. >> i don't care! it's my copyright. do what you want to with it. >> steve: thanks for letting be be part of your ron entourage today. >> brian: it's too early for you. did you it anyway. good job. >> thank you. >> gretchen: coming up next, military contractors facing major layoffs, but the white house offering offering a them o keep quiet 'til after the election? more after this. >> steve: brian's nfl great barry sanders here. he's not helping us with our football picks. he'll explain with brian kilmeade coming up next. >> brian: i'm going to try to tackle him. >> steve: good luck. >> gretchen: look at barry saying, no go ♪

>> gretchen: time for your shot of the morning. the white house, look how beautiful that is. pretty in pink. this is what it looked like last night in honor of breast cancer awareness month. across the pond over in london, buckingham palace turning pink, too. >> steve: if i would have had a camera, i would have taken a picture of the george washington bridge. the pearl necklace usually the

lights as it's been described, this morning when i drove in, all pink. >> brian: do you have to actually change every bulb? >> steve: over. i was wondering whether they had to change them or put a different color housing. >> brian: i'm going to look into that because that's the only thing i can do at my house is change bulbs. i would have been eligible to help them. i'm a good bulb guy. me and uncle fester. lockheed martin caving to pressure. agreeing to not issue required layoffs. but critics say the obama administration is more concerned with the election than thousands of workers. kelly wright live in washington. make heads or tails of this. >> here is one of the reasons why they're saying it's all dealing with the election. if lockheed martin issued its layoff notices, employees would have received those on november 2, just days before the general election. and in battle ground states like virginia where millions of people are employed who are working for defense contractors, a wave of job cuts there could have actually spelled trouble for president obama's hopes for

a second term. lockheed's announcement that it will not issue job layoffs come as a welcome sign to the white house and is following the office of management and budget that employers will not have to comply with the warren act, to warn workers they could lose their jobs. now the omb issued new guidance to further minimize the waste and disruption associated assoch the issuance of unwarranted notices, this memorandum provides guidance regarding the allow ability of certain liability and litigation cost associated with this warn at compliance. >> politics and it's indefensible. you make the point that the law is very clear. if, because the sequestration, a company is going to have to make layoff, they have to give notice and the obama administration is telling them, don't tell anybody you're going to get laid off because what's happening in our administration. but they go beyond that and say

not only don't comply with the law, but we'll make the taxpayers pay your legal bills. it's outrageous. >> lockheed martin luther kingen and other companies were threaten to go send out letters in an effort to pressure congress and the white house to take action against drastic defense cuts. republican senator john thune, the lead sponsors of the sequestration transparency act, finds the obama action troubling. he says despite the white house's guidance over 1 million americans employed by the defense industry fear that their jobs are now on the line unless president obama, senate democrats engage with congressional republicans on replacing the unbalanced defense cuts with alternative savings. brian? >> brian: all right. thank you very much. appreciate it. we'll see where this goes or if anyone takes notice. besides us. 24 minutes before the top of the hour. that was kelly wright helping us out. >> steve: right. we're going to have a quick

clarification. earlier i did an interview with a woman from our dc bureau about the military -- if you're interested in getting military absentee ballot. let us put up on the screen the correct e-mail address. go to -- rather web address is fvap.gov. i said dot org. >> brian: jot that down. all right. so in a few minutes, barry sanders will be here talking about -- okay. >> steve: he's here. >> brian: thanks for blowing my surprise. >> steve: we got other headlines for you. a terrorist sprung from prison being linked to the u.s. consulate bombing in benghazi. reports say fighters trained by him took part in the libya attack that left four americans, including ambassador dead. amad reportedly escaped from prison during protests in the middle east. former secretary of defense donald rumsfeld saying the obama

administration is not helping. >> i think that the foreign policy of this administration for 3 1/2, four years now has been one of a step back. you can't lead from behind. leaders lead from the front. >> steve: officials say amad has petitioned the chief of al-qaeda for permission to launch an all-out al-qaeda affiliate and secured financing from al-qaeda's wing in yemen as well. >> gretchen: can illegal immigrant become an american lawyer? that's the argument in front of a supreme court. the man came to the united states from mexico when he was only nine years old. he earned a law degree. he passed the bar. however, the florida bar denied his application because he is living here illegally. he claims he now qualifies under president obama's immigration plan. >> steve: take a close look at this video. a guy with a pellet gun walks up

to the president of the czech republic hispanic shoots him. -- czech republic shoots him. look at that. the president's body guards don't seem to know what happened and let the guy get away. the suspect even had time to talk to the media before cops arrested him. the president only suffered minor injuries. his head body guard has resigned. good job. >> gretchen: take a look at drunk riding. florida police chase down a drunk man riding a horse down a highway. he told police he was headed to his grandmother's house. he rode his horse through busy intersections and railroad tracks. police had to stop a train because of him. word spread through town and a big crowd started to follow him. >> i see a horse come out of a road and riding on u.s. 1. had to be 20 cop cars. that was probably one of the

awful us. gretch? >> gretchen: thanks very much. a new report shows americans will soon be facing a serious financial crunch if congress doesn't act soon. nearly 90% of americans would face higher taxes next year, raising the average household tax bill by $3,500. mirror to break it down for us is the "fox business" network's elizabeth mcdonald. this is what we've been hearing about, but we haven't talked a lot about it because of the election. but it's this fiscal cliff we talk about. >> yeah. that's right. and this is a study that's coming from the nonpartisan tax policy center. they went to their calculators and tried to figure out what the hit would be for everybody in terms of their income brackets and they're finding that everybody would get hit. the lower brackets who see a tax hike of $412 per year and the middle brackets will see about a $2,000 tax hike, all the way up to the 1%. they'll see $120,000 tax hike. so what's happening is every rate group are going to see possibly the taxes go up, income, payroll, investment

taxes are going to go up january 1 if the u.s. congress does not deal with the fiscal cliff. >> gretchen: so this is a result of the fact that the bush so -- so-called bush tax cut also expire is this. >> yeah. >> gretchen: there has been no action on that thus far? >> it's part of that and also the payroll tax cuts and also all sorts of stimulus provisions such as child tax credits, education credits for college, the earned income tax credits will go away for the poor. the cbo is out there saying if the congress doesn't do anything about this, it could throw the u.s. economy into a double dip recession because of a lower gdp by from 3 to 4%. you know the one who termed it, the person who coined the term looks like it was ben bernanke, federal reserve chairman. he used the term earlier this year. so also at the same time, we've got health reform coming in with new levies on investment. >> gretchen: new taxes? that would be coming at the same time. this is up to congress or the president? who needs to do something? >> here is the issue, depends on

who wins and how the lay of the land will g depending on who wins the election. if the president wins reelection, you'll possibly see gridlock. now the talk is to just let them expire temporarily and then do a quick fix for everybody but the upper bracket, so that way you could say look, we passed a tax cut and we did raise taxes on the upper bracket. if mitt romney, then he'll probably say i need time to fashion a budget. i'll have to do this in 2013. there may be delay. in that case, in either scenario, the u.s. congress would say to the irs look, adjust the tax withholding tables and so until we deal with this. so it's not an open and shut case. everybody will see their tax rates go up or tax go up january 1. there could be some leeway there. >> gretchen: liz mcdonald, thanks so much. he's putting down the guitar, taking up politics. scott stapp on why he's switching from obama tropical storm 9-11 then bill o'reilly and laura ingraham are here together. what do they expect

i know we can get from the title of the book that this is not going to just be all sugar coated, is it? >> not at all. it was amazing journey writing this book. it was a journey of self discovery and i was going through a time in my life where i was coming out of the darkness into the light, so to speak. so it was good to go back and look at everything in my life to see what made me who i am. >> steve: you lived the typical rock star life for a while, didn't you? n yes, i did. yes, i did. all the way. >> steve: all the good stuff and all the stuff that wound up being bad, to? >> yeah, exactly. i felt at the time that's what you're supposed to do. >> steve: sure. >> some of my idols, like moreson and others, that's when they did. not to get to the problem, but just began getting involved in that lifestyle. >> steve: sure. >> and that's a dark path.

>> gretchen: i think people will be interested in reading your book because they'll see that your life growing up was not all wonderful either. maybe some of that could have led -- even though you were in a christian situation and you still consider yourself a christian. >> definitely. >> gretchen: that christianhave a lot of problems, too. >> absolutely. we've seen that over the years when a lot of our leaders in the christian church have had some problems and they got exposed. you know, i became, whether i chose to or not, you know, that, the same thing. so it's good to be home. >> steve: it's good. it's good to have you because you revealed when you came out during the break that you watch "fox & friends" most mornings as you get the four kids off tole ski. so you're watching the news. have you thought much about what's going on with politics and who you're going to vote for for president? >> most definitely. it means a lot and with everyone

going through these hard economic times and some of the other issues that are really key to this election, it's decision time. i'm an independent, registered independent. >> steve: you voted for president obama, didn't you? >> i did. i voted for president obama and where i stand right now with that is i'm just disappointed and had very high hopes and expectations and was really inspired by president obama. i still am. he's an amazing speaker. but i just found his, in my opinion, his administration ineffective. a lot of promises, but no real delivery. >> steve: sounds like you're about to change your vote. >> gretchen: you live in the all important state of florida. >> yes. most importantly. it's what's romney offering a? that's kind wildfire i sit right now. -- it's kind of where i sit right now. where is the plan? lay it out so the american people can understand it. >> gretchen: you think the

debate also help? >> i hope so. i hope so. my heart and soul would really love someone like reagan or fdr to come back and give us a new deal, be bold. be committed. don't care what anybody thinks. >> steve: division thing. >> yeah, man. when you tear down the wall, do it. we got to look at, in my opinion, we got to look at our situation like that and i just hope that in these debates we see someone do that. for me, it's hard to commit and to trust to president obama again because i was so inspired and thought everything was going to change. i know he walked into a tough situation. but i feel change is in the air. i feel this recession did she dish call it my house, the great correction. i think it's needed for us to grow. but we got to have someone lead us. >> steve: it's been great to hear your perspective on what's going on with politics and also

congratulations on the new memoir and thanks for watching "fox & friends." >> yeah. it's a special day for me. my book is coming out and i have a song titled "sinners creed" coming out. >> gretchen: thank you. coming up, the president can't run on the economy, he's losing strength on foreign policy. what should he say at the debates and can romney pull ahead afterwards? laura ingraham and bill o'reilly top of the hour. >> steve: then arnold schwarzenegger is here on the curvy couch talking about his future and his past, including that affair with the housekeeper [ male announcer ] in a world where breakfast

economy and is losing strength on foreign policy. so what should he say at the debates? can romney pull ahead? laura ingraham and bill o'reilly together in moments. how cool is that? >> brian: pretty cool. plus bill o'reilly has a new book out. i hope this one is a best seller for him. for the third time, the seats break loose on american airlines flights with passengers strapped in as they take off. what's going on with american airlines? is my frequent flyer miles ever going to add up to anything? "fox & friends" starts right now >> gretchen: welcome. we start this morning with a fox news alert. fox news confirming moments ago that border patrol agents were involved in a shooting near naco, arizona. i hope i'm pronouncing that correctly. right now we are hearing one agent has been killed. another is wounded, but expected

to survive. the area is known for drug trafficking. the agents are assigned to the station renamed two weeks ago for fallen agent brian terry. a manhunt underway for the ailed shooter. other news, eight american airlines actual planes now pulled from service after a third report of seats coming loose on a flight. new york post reporting last week a flight from colorado to dallas had issues with loose seats. over the weekend, a flight from boston to miami was forced to make an emergency landing when a row of seats began sliding around. listen to the audio of the pilot talking to air traffic control. >> unusual one for you. during climbout, rows of passenger seats, rows 12 d, e and f came loose out of the floor. passengers are unable to sit in that seat. >> gretchen: then yesterday, another flight from new york to miami forced to turn around for the same reason. the planes recently had

maintenance during account seats were removed and reinstalled. but there is concerns the problems could be linked to labor at american. amtrak service shut down in central california where a train derailed and injuring at least 20 people there. the train with 169 people on board headed from oakland to bakersfield when a truck blew through the crossing gate. three cars knocked over. passengers, including a newborn baby tossed around like rag dolls. >> it hit so hard, the baby flew on the other side of the seat in front of us. literally ripped out and fell on top of him. so i had to lift the seat up and dig under the debris and i found him in his car seat. >> smoke. it was dust and the train just came apart. >> gretchen: none of the injuries are life-threatening. we learned overnight that the white house has been holding secret meetings about al-qaeda's threat in north africa. >> brian: snore secret got out. >> steve: the obama administration has met several times in the last few months to talk about the terror group and

whether the u.s. should actually launch strikes in that region. critics say the meetings are just politics as usual. >> there is this circling of the wagons that is really concerning about this. again, americans need to understand the truth. we've got to avoid this notion of any political convenience. >> gretchen: the white house discussions reportedly began the u.s. consulate attack in benghazi, libya. all right. now it's time to bring in the two guests. bill and laura. bill o'reilly and laura ingraham, together. usually we see them on "the o'reilly factor". what kind of deals did you make with each other? >> i just go where i'm told. [ laughter ] i'm here. i don't know what's going on. >> steve: we're going to talk about your brand-new book, comes out tomorrow "killing kennedy." >> today, doocy. it comes out today. >> steve: that's not the data that i've got. >> who do you believe, me or

doocy? >> steve: you're right. let's go to laura to break the tie. >> it came out yesterday. >> steve: we'll talk about the book in just a minute. but first tomorrow night, the big debate at the university of denver. and laura, let's start with you. the president, it has been said many times, can't run on his economy because it stinks right now. given what's happened in libya and iran and everything else, he's losing strength on foreign policy, what is he going to have to do tomorrow night? >> well, i think that the great vulnerableability on foreign policy is a shock to the romney campaign that thought well, it's enough to dot economy, it's enough to convince everybody that the economy is that bad, but you know, as bill and i have talked about on his show, a lot of people believe the economy is not great, but maybe it's getting a little better. so that narrative hasn't been set. i think most people when they saw that embassy attack, the administration rushing out to say it was spontaneous, not to say it was a terrorist attack, now we find out that a lot of these militants who are released

from prison during the so-called arab spring have turned out to be new al-qaeda affiliates. we're seeing real instability in north africa and throughout the middle east and i don't think president obama can blame george bush for this. i think this is a new vulnerability if romney mr. exploit it and that remains to be seen. >> brian: 55 more gitmo detainees will be loose. it will be interesting to see. bill, you don't think it's that big a deal. you say this story has been out there for a week and the polls haven't moved much. >> i think it's an interesting story as far as journalism is concerned but i don't think the folks are locked in on it. i think the governor would be smart to make it part of his package tomorrow night of imcompetence. look, mitt romney, it's all on him. all on him. all president obama has to do is basically just be himself and not say anything, just repeat the same old thing. mitt romney has to convince the american people that going forward, he's a better alternative than the president. it's not going to be easy. so he's going to have to paint the president as an incompetent.

this libya thing can be part of that, but certainly the economy, way more important to the folks than libya. but he can weave it. the second thing is that romney has got to kind of put aside his politician persona. i mean, he looks perfect, right? he looks like a president should look. but that's not working against him because people don't know who he is. he's got to find a way to say look, this is who i am. this is why i'm better. in very simple terms. it's daunting task for the governor. >> gretchen: yeah, it is. because if he comes across as sort of being in attack mode, which a lot of republicans want him to be, then the press might say, oh, wow. he really went too far. >> he can't care about the press. he can't care about them one bit. he's got to smack the president like laura ingraham would smack him. >> gretchen: really? >> thank you. >> gretchen: do you agree that? are you one of the critics who thinks romney hasn't been tough enough? >> i think the polls indicate

that romney obviously is not where he wants to be, gretchen. and you can say he should have been nicer. i guess that is an argument issues that if only romney had appeared with more babies and more puppies then people would like him more. people like leaders. they like someone who ties it together, frames the picture for us. and bill is right, whether it's imcompetence and imcompetence and corruption, this administration's policies haven't delivered for the american family and the american middle class, and right now it looks like they're not delivering on an other really important issue which is our national security. i think both of those issuers framed properly by mitt romney, without concern about whether people like him, but whether people look at him and say, that guy could be president, i hear what he's saying and that makes sense. he's not a celebrity and he's not embracing the celebrity culture. in fact, he's kinds of the antes celebrity. i think he needs that moment tomorrow. >> brian: bill, this is to your point. one of the campaign aides said

this, romney's advisors have a simple strategy. be balanced, be fine tuned with your argument, which show a personal warmth. i think america -- what you have. what you radiate on a daily basis. but show a personal warmth while doing it and not looking too much in the attack mode. i have a point to share with you because we have some time on our hands. i believe that this -- i believe governor romney has an easier time than senator mccain because today fight against ideas and what ifs. now you have a four-year track record to go at distinctly and directly. do you agree with my assessment? >> i think so. there was an unknown quantity about senator obama at the time that mccain didn't want to get into well, he was really this way because it was really speculation and now we all know how the president is governing. what romney should be doing right now is watching ronald reagan take apart jimmy carter. now, with this caveat, president obama much quicker than jimmy

carter. much. however, the way that reagan did it was authoritative, but kind of focusy. i don't know if romney can be folksy. but you got to be bold and fresh out there. but you got to do it with more of a twinkle in your eye than a malice. >> bill, look, why is "the o'reilly factor" and "fox & friends" popular? >> i don't show malice and i'll tell i couldn't. one of these crazy right wing talk show host social security off the air, i understand, savage, isn't he off the air? >> brian: i heard he's having trouble. >> because he's malicious. >> first of all, michael savage, you might not like him, he had millions of people -- >> he's malicious. that's what he is. if romney starts to do that, if people sense that -- >> we're not talking about -- >> i'm sorry, laura, you're wrong. if romney starts to do that without -- >> that's not what -- when has romney ever done that? >> come on, come on. >> you're creating paper tigers,

bill. romney, i was in new york last week, and he performed beautifully. unfortunately, nobody really showed up to cover it. he did two speeches, one at the clinton global initiative and one at that education forum. he was amazing. i was like where was that guy during the whole campaign? >> gretchen: interesting. >> if that's the romney that shows up, romney is going to smoke obama. if that's the romney. >> reagan did it just right. >> exactly. >> if romney does that, if he can capture a bit of that reaganesque quality, then you're going to see those polls turn around very quickly. >> bill, i was going to compliment you and you didn't let me. the reason o'reilley is popular is not because you're not tough. you are tough. but you also bring the facts in and you bring in analysis to the people that they can say, gosh. even if i don't agree with him, i respect his point of view. that's what romney needs to do. >> brian: you always end on a positive note. please say something nice to laura. >> we love laura. are you kidding me is it i have to say, we have some of the best debates in television. not just cable. >> thank you.

>> anywhere. she's strong and she -- >> gretchen: we got to wrap it up. thanks so much. now we have breaking news to tell you about. u.s. border patrol agent shot dead. another agent injured. all unfolding in naco, arizona, area known for drug trafficking. joining us is william lajeunesse, who has been covering a lot of this border patrol violence for us. what can you tell us? >> details are pretty thin now. i got a phone call about an hour and a half ago that the agent had been shot fatally. family notifications are going on right now. the search is underway for the shooter or shooters. i can tell you naco, arizona is a very remote area of arizona right on the border, basically southeast of tucson. i think the shooting happened about 8 miles over the border. i was told by a source. and at this point in time, naco, as you know, it was two weeks ago we were down there to dedicate that station to be

renamed after brian terry. that was where he worked out of. this was not too far from where brian terry was shot. as you said, this is a known drug smuggling corridor. very active in this area. the search is underway by county sheriffs. >> gretchen: william lajeunesse, thanks so much. it will be interesting to see if that's a debate question tomorrow night. immigration and border patrols coming back one day before the debate. >> steve: more with bill o'reilly on his brand-new book, plus now you see her, and now you don't. why ikea erased women from one of their catalogs. >> gretchen: and he's back. >> brian: arnold schwarzenegger like you've never seen him before sharing everything from his biggest accomplishments to his bigger mistake some say. 626 pages. >> steve: it's long. >> brian: not counting the index. back in a moment. we have a loft ground to cover mike rowe here at a ford dealer with a little q&a for fiona.

tell me fiona, who's having a big tire event? your ford dealer. who has 11 major brands to choose from? your ford dealer. who's offering a rebate? your ford dealer. who has the low price tire guarantee... affording peace of mind to anyone who might be in the market for a new set of res? your ford dealer. i'm beginning to sense a pattern. buy four select tires, get a $60 rebate. use the ford service credit credit card, get $60 more. that's up to $120. where did you get that sweater vest? your ford dealer.

>> gretchen: okay. we were going to see david letterman who wants -- let's go to it now. >> brian: let's listen. >> we have not heard from mitt romney and his people. they have an open invitation to be here, 36 days remaining. he's going to have to -- if you want to be in the white house, you got to sit right over there and talk to me. i don't have a dog in this fight. i'm a registered independent. just you got to come on. and listen, do me a favor. if he doesn't come on, don't vote for him. >> gretchen: wait a minute. he's a registered independent? that's news o a lot of people. >> i think everybody knows dave is a liberal guy and supports the president. but i'm the same -- i got to say, mitt romney haven't been on "the factor."

so i may be doing that same routine in a couple of weeks. we're expecting the governor to come in. i've interviewed him many times in the past. we're look for both the president and the governor to come in. >> brian: let's talk about "killing lincoln." -- "killing kennedy". the teen book is number one. "killing kennedy." if there was no success in "killing lincoln," would you have written this book? >> no. 52 weeks on the new york best seller list, that's driving them nuts. it's number 4. the success of that 2 million copies sold led me to say okay. -- this is all personal for me. what do i want to know about? i wanted to know the real story behind not only jfk's assassination, but how he governed. what he did in the white house. after reading this book, you'll know everything about him. the good and the bad. you'll know how he died and who killed him. now, there are some questions we

couldn't answer and we tell the reader that. i can't answer this. or stuff that's not explainable, i'm still working on it. but you read this book, you'll know who john f. kennedy was, who his wife was, and how he died. >> gretchen: you believe in the theory that it was a one- >> no theory. we don't do theory. this is all facts. lee harvey oswald shot john kennedy to death. he put two in the car this 3 1/2 seconds and killed kennedy. that is beyond a reasonable doubt. now, were there any other people around oswald who should not have been around him? yes. did kennedy have other very powerful enemies? yes, he did. we go through it, but everything in that book is fact based. >> steve: let me tell i couldn't this is going to be another number one best seller. this past weekend was a rainy saturday. i was down in dallas visiting my daughter who is in college there. because of it raining, we went to the sixth floor museum.

>> in deeley plaza. >> steve: it was standing room only. so many people, even -- they want answers. >> it's a very emotional deal. i lucked out on two ways. i got access to the f.b.i. agents who were in dallas who were say signed by hoover to the case. they've never talked to anybody. so we have all fresh stuff there. and the second thing is, we pinpoints where had jfk changed. he changed dramatically, the death of his baby patrick. i spend a lot of time on that in the book. on before he was one way, after his baby died, he was another way. it's fascinating. everybody remembers if you're alive back then where you were when kennedy was killed. i open the book, i was at high school on long island. it came overt loud speaker. my maternal grandmother, winifred kennedy. very emotional book for me. very happy with it. if you read this book, you will be entertained and you will be

informed, no doubt. >> brian: one question you can't answer, could you tell us now when you close the book, you hand it to the publisher and you said, i still don't have the answer to that question? >> yeah. there's a guy named george demornshield, a shadowy guy and he's swirling around lee harvey oswald. he's a loser. no way this guy should be swirling around him. i reported on this guy when i was working at wfaa it tv in dallas 'cause he taught there. i can't put that together. now, i chased him to florida and i was about to knock on the door where he was, his daughter's house, and he blew his brains out with a shotgun. >> steve: oh, my goodness. it's going to be a big hit. you can download it right now. >> that's right. it comes out today. >> steve: download it, buy it. go out and get it. the great bill o'reilly, the author of "killing kennedy." we thank you very much. >> thanks, we appreciate it. >> gretchen: coming up, his dream to become a powerful

hackers on a white house computer. a staffer opened an e-mail which was a fishing attack and gave the hackers access to the computer. it's not known what information was taken or left behind. brian? >> brian: he's known for his heart and passion on the football field. remember new york giants receiver phil mcconky's moment in the 1986 super bowl. >> the giants final pass of the game, the player who personified patience and persistence received the ultimate payoff. >> i caught the ball and there is my touchdown in the super bowl. >> brian: right. he's not only a giant, but a dedicated patriot, serving in the navy before going pro. he's got a new company, giving back in this way. the company is called academy securities and they have a mission, to hire and train our military veterans. phil mckahny, good memories

first off of that catch. too bad the other player didn't have good hands. >> he's one of the best of all time. he's the member of academy securities. >> brian: before we get into academy securities what, did serving in the military do for your football career? >> i think the big thing is it made me realize that no excuse is accepted nor tolerated. when you're in the military, you've got to dior job, do it perfectly and every time because your life depends on it and others' lives depend on it. football may not be that extreme, but to win, to become a champion, a world champion, bill parcells would say no excuse is accepted or tolerated. when you understand that as a military person, as an athlete, you get more out of yourself. you contribute more to your team and your organization. >> brian: so that's what you want to do. that's what you brought to the team and it was exciting watching you play. so you formed this academy. you realize what a lot of people realize.

the unemployment rate for veterans coming out of the military is double what the national rate is. how do you help it? >> it's sky high. academy securities is a registered brokered dealer. we're certified disabled veteran business enterprise. we offer our clients municipal finance, trading, funds placement, investment banking. we bring together industry experts and military veterans who create a first class financial services firm. currently our work force is almost 40% military veteran. we hope to get to a 50/50 ratio. jpmorgan is our mentor. they'll enhance our capabilities, allow us to get there. and to go out and to seek military veterans. if you think about it, corporations today, they spend tons of money going outside of their organization to bring in people to teach their managers, their employees about leadership, about service, about team work. these people that are transitioning from the military

back to civilian life, back to corporate life, they embody all those qualities. why don't you want them in your organization to enhance what you do, to help you grow, to be a better company? >> brian: these guys have been eating sand for three years and in some cases, ten years. how do they apply to your academy? >> well, they've got disciplines. they have problem solving. >> brian: will you train them? >> we will train them. we bring them in. we will train them and financial securities. you have to have a series 63. if you're in construction services, there are certain qualities and skills you need there. fox news, you've got different areas of needs. these people all have skills, unique skill sets that learned in the military and specialty skills that can be transitioned back to civilian life. so if you bring an industry expert next to a military veteran and help train those people, it can only make your company better. >> brian: phil, how too we find out more?

>> well, you can go to academysecurities.com, you can go to jpmorgan 100,000 jobs mission. there is a huge initiative by corporate america to help employ these people. they've got a goal of 100,000 jobs over the next few years. they've already hired 18,000. there is mom and pop 501c 3 organizations going on. >> brian: we'll put that on our web site. phil, thanks so much. great what you're doing for the country. great what you did for the giants. thanks for your time. >> thanks so much. >> brian: straight ahead, the hardest choice he's ever had to make, jump from a third story window or die. the dramatic video you have to see. and arnold schwarzenegger like you've never seen him. how he figured out he had a child out of wedlock and how he told his wife, what he did for california, how he broke into this country as an immigrant. became an american citizen and a huge success story

right there. and later on today, run throughs will actually begin. take a look at this video right here. shear a closer look at the arena being transformed into one big television studio. today's dress rehearsal is expected to last all day. the commission says they'll make final adjustments on wednesday just hours prior to the debate. it's not clear yet how many invited guests will fill the venue tomorrow. we're told it will be right around 200. of course, colorado, one of about eight key swing states critical to this year's election. we should mention that mitt romney, they campaigned here in denver yesterday. his wife, ann, will be here later on today. and then on thursday, right after, just hours after the presidential debate, president obama will be campaigning in denver once again. so again, guys, colorado, about one of eight crucial states to this year's election is going to be interesting to see what happens. going to be interesting to see

the presidential debate go down here in the city of denver. back to you. >> steve: all right. thank you very much. the whole country and the world will be watching tomorrow night. >> gretchen: with just three words, arnold schwarzenegger became a household name. >> i'll be back. >> gretchen: of course, the terminator helped arnold top the list as one of hollywood's highest paid actors. then came his successful bid to become the governor of california. his journey hasn't been without its share of scandal and heart break. now he's telling all in a new book called "total recall, my unbelievably true life story." he's our guest on the curvy couch for the first time, i believe. isn't it? at least if recent years. >> brian: it is. >> i think each one of us has done interviews. i know with you i've done several interviews. >> brian: in los angeles, we've had you via satellite when you were governor and had so many challenges. putting this -- looking at this

book, up 'til here, it's been an unbelievable success story. and it got really difficult from governorship afterwards. how have you processed it all and was it painful writing that last 80 pages? >> first of all, it was painful to go through this period and then, of course, i'm not a person that likes to look back. good or bad. always have been a person that moves forward. setting one goal after the next and conquering those goals and turning them into reality. this was a painful period in reality because you realize how many people you've disappointed and how painful this was for my whole family and for the children especially also, and it's terrible. i feel terrible about it. you want to apologize about that every day, you think about it every day. , but you always have to move on. the key thing was that my wife

and i, we made a commitment to raise the kids together. if christmas or easter, or birthday celebration. >> brian: how are they handling it? >> it's difficult. even just us talking about it. if they see it's a difficult thing, 'cause it reminds them again, reawakens the whole thing. what the important thing was people ask me, why did you put this in the book? i said look, if i write that book about arnold, arnold's life is about huge successes and that the most extraordinary immigrant story that i know in this country, but at the same time, also about failures. i've had failures professionally, i had failures in my personal life and i write about that. >> gretchen: why write a book at all some people are wondering? is this a way for you to come back into your movie career again or why write the book? >> this was making for 20 years because since the early '90s,

there has been kinds of chasing know do an dot biography and -- autobiography and i said no, no, no, i don't have an interesting enough story. then when i became governor, i said i do have an interesting story to tell now. it just happened to be that then on the end, there is the scandal became part of that. >> steve: you are a -- i haven't read the whole book, but i read around it and you're a great story teller. you start when you grew up in austria, your family was dirt poor. fast forward, you move to the united states. tom brokaw introduce you to maria shriver. you fell in love and got married. at the ends, is that chapter called the secret where you revealed that deep dark secret of bad feeling you had about that kid who sure looked a lot like you. >> that's right. >> steve: in telling that part of the story, in such a public way now, has that impacted your relationship with maria? >> no. i think that maria loves me and i always will love maria.

she was the only true love in my life and she was a woman unlike anything else. she was a great partner. she was a really interesting family since she comes from a democratic party. there was always interesting discussion. she was fantastic and helped in every step of the way. that's what's so sad about it, you know, for me also is that that happened and she did not deserve that because she was fantastic. >> brian: when i'm done with this, i'm saying, have you for sure closed the book on your relationship? >> no. >> brian: can you see you reconciling? >> yes. absolutely. the -- i'm an optimist. i think the key thing is instead of worrying about us is the children. the children are going through very important phase. i want to make sure the children feel good about us and about our

relationship 'cause they know that we got along and we never have a fight, maria and i. we always get along, we help each other. and we are just separated now. i think eventually, i hope, that wounds will heal so much so that we can get together again. >> brian: wow. stick around. we want to talk to you about your days as governor and your extraordinary journey becoming the number one box office smash and your possible return. including my best movie ever, the "expendables". how many times have i said that? >> then you have to tell me about your fitness program. >> brian: i'll have to take off my shirt. >> gretchen: is it just you? >> brian: if you have a pen, i can write down some tips. >> steve: arnold sticking around. california used to run on the verge of bankruptcy. what the heck happened to the golden state and what can the rest of the former chief executive of california will spill the beans.

some gigantic bailout. people who live in states where they've been fiscally responsible and haven't lived beyond their means are going why should we bail california out? >> first of all, i don't think anyone has to worry about california needs to be bailed out. i think that i've heard that story for the last 40 years. ronald reagan struggled with the california budget even though he promised he would never raise taxes, he had to raise taxes and had to make severe cuts. i remember then governor wrestled with the same thing in the '80s and he had to raise taxes and had to make severe cuts. governor wilson had to do the same thing and i had to do the same thing. i think the legislators in california always spent more money than they take in. that's been the biggest problem. >> brian: do you think unions are a huge problem? >> they are, because for instance, the pension problem that we have in california, we have a state that we have at

least $400 billion of unfunded liability because of our public employees pensions. it is all because in 1999-2000, they decided to change the pensions and to give them this special kind of deal. >> brian: why couldn't you fix that? >> we did. we did mention reform. but we knocked it down from a $500 billion liability to $400 billion liability. and the idea is the next governor goes in and knocks it down to 300 and slowly negotiate it down. this is what needs to be done now and i think the people of california are very upset about that we have the state employees getting this kind of extraordinary amount of money. >> gretchen: they still are vote not guilty the same people. >> money for education, building infrastructure and other things. this money is directly taken away from higher education -- >> brian: cal continually votes in the people who believe in funding those pensions beyond belief. >> absolutely. >> gretchen: at the same time, you're losing what people argue is the job creators by the millions are leaving california, right? >> it's important to note that

california has a debt of around $80 billion. it's very little in compared to other countries that have that kind of a gdp that we have, which is almost $2 trillion. so we are nowhere to be in trouble financially if ha wait a minute we just every year for decades had a 10, $50 billion deficit because we just spent too much money. >> steve: as big as the deficit is in california, it doesn't even approach what we're heading toward here in the united states of america. >> that is really tough because when you talk about $16 trillion, i mean, this is the last few years come from ten to $16 trillion. that is troubling. then on top of it, you have the deficit, which is like a trillion and a half every year. i mean, we are talking about a lot of money, and on top of it, this country doesn't have a budget for three years, we've been waiting for a budget. there is no budget. how do you operate that way? >> brian: that's a failure for the president, don't you agree? >> everyone in washington it's a failure. if congress cannot get their act

together and look at this, if you can not get immigration reform done which they have been talking about ever since i've gotten into office, they've talked about immigration reformment nothing gets done. every year they say, next year is an election coming up. hello? of course there is an election coming up because that's the way the united states constitution is. every two years we have an election. >> gretchen: republicans put together a budget and harry reid has not put together a budget and the president's budget was voted down unanimously a no. >> steve: it's a great book, check it out. it's out right now by governor arnold schwarzenegger. >> brian: last question, did president obama ask you to be energy secretary? >> we have had discussions about helping and i don't get into the details of what the discussions were. because they were discussions. but we did talk about working together on some of those issues that i feel very passionate about. environmental issues. >> steve: you would have been good because you have a lot of energy. >> thank you very much. >> gretchen: thanks. are you ready for a flashback? one of the greatest female pop
